HACKETTSTOWN -- A moving violation led to the arrest of a Newton man on drunken driving charges, police said.

Charles Davis, 37, was charged with driving while intoxicated, driving while intoxicated in a school zone, operating a motor vehicle during license suspension, his second violation, reckless driving, refusal to submit to a breath test, driving while suspended, and failure to install an interlock device.

At approximately 1:35 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 9, a Hackettstown police officer initiated a traffic stop with a vehicle on Route 46 for a moving violation.

The officer approached the vehicle and while talking to the driver -- later identified as Davis -- detected the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from inside the vehicle.

Davis was arrested, processed and lodged in the Warren County Correctional Facility pending a court appearance.

Key statements made by witnesses less than an hour after it is alleged a former Newton police officer sexually assaulted a minor at the Burger King restaurant in Hampton will be admissible to corroborate the minor's testimony.

HACKETTSTOWN -- A township man accused of stealing a trumpet was found later that day in municipal court on a separate charge, police said. Matthew Riboldi, 34, was charged with theft by unlawful taking.
